Primary user	Terran Confederation

Thousands of stations such as these dot the Confederation. They are used for military and civilian purposes and are built at key points in solar systems. They house such operations as internal security (In-System Security) as well as commerce areas. The station is defended by a small fighter contingent and two flak cannons. The Space Station is often confused with its larger counterpart, the Confederation Star Base.

Weapons of the Terran and Kilrathi Fleets

The simulator has implemented Candar Station so you will learn how to defend friendly space stations. Protected by flak guns as well as strong armor, it is a hard nut to crack. However, a Kilrathi force with formidable weapon loadouts could destroy Candar if they manage to dodge you and its flak volleys since the space station is not protected by phase shields.
